“Maria was so great with our girls! They loved her as soon as they met her, so we were very happy to leave them in her care. She followed our instructions and was punctual, but more than that she took great care of them. We came home to happy, tired dogs!”


“Sam was great!! Our dogs were very happy with her, especially as she came round to get to know them a couple of times first. She even took on an extra dog at late notice! And left the house like she’d never been there. Would definitely use again 🙂”


About: With 32 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats — including raising my own cheeky dachshund — I offer calm, loving care that feels just like home. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule, which means I can give pets the attention they need throughout the day — whether that’s morning walks, playtime, or evening cuddles. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I follow their normal routine and give them lots of love, attention, and care while respecting your space as if it were my own.

“I can’t recommend Sue enough! Sue is kind, and just a pure joy to be around and our dog think so too! Sue takes such good care of our dog and takes her on so many lovely walks and adventures! Thank you Sue ❤️”


“Neil looked after our 2-year-old cocker spaniel and was great from start to finish. He popped over beforehand to meet her and get to know her a bit, which was really reassuring. We had an early start (6:15am on a Sunday!), and Neil showed up right on time. He fed her, played with her in the garden, and took her out for a walk. Super reliable and easy to work with—we’d definitely have him dog-sit again.”


“Ailie has been brilliant - she was communicative and friendly, left the house clean and tidy and most importantly, Geno has been well-cared for and beautifully brushed. We would be happy to use her again.”


“Where do I start…..Adam is just AMAZING! We asked Adam to stay at our house as one of our dogs is elderly and she would be happier in her own home. We met a couple of times before his stay with our dogs so he could meet them. Adam sent regular photos via WhatsApp and let us know how the dogs were and that they were happy. He has walked our dogs 2 or more times a day, he’s given them undivided attention and they already LOVE him. I almost didn’t want to leave a review as I don’t want Adam getting too busy to look after our fur babies again 🫶. He really is the absolute BEST and we totally trust him in our home and with our dogs. Thank you SO SO MUCH Adam.”

The house indoors is very spacious and we don’t have dangerous items laying around, so there is no danger.
